The weld weld containing containing thethe indications indications is is aa dissimilar dissimilar metal metal weld weld (DMW)

"Acceptance Standards, and requirerequire aa repair/replacement repair/replacement activity activity to return return the weldweld to an an acceptable condition.

In In the existing design, the pressurizer safety relief valve nozzle nozzle configuration contains materials that are susceptible to primary water stress corrosion cracking (PWSCC). First, First, the safety relief valve weld neck flange was manufactured from SB-166, SB-i 66, UNS N06600 (Alloy nickel alloy while the DMW attaching the flange to the vessel nozzle was fabricated 600) nickel from Alloy 821182 82/1 82 filler metal. The nozzle was manufactured from A-508, Class 2 material, and the pressurizer upper head is A-533, Grade B Class 1. The pressurizer nozzle and upper head materials are low alloy steels which are not susceptible to PWSCC. See Figure 1.

The new DMW will be installed and examined in accordance with the 1992 Edition of ASME Section III, Subsection NB. NB. However, in lieu of the preheat and postweld heat treatment requirements of the Construction Code, ENO plans to install the Alloy 52M weld buttering across the face and full circumferenc circumference e of the weld end preparation of the A-508, Class 2 nozzle using the ambient temperature temper bead provisions of Code Case N-638-4. N-638-4.

Because Code Case N-638-4, paragraph 1(b) 1(b) limits the depth of the weld to one-half of the ferritic base metal thickness, ENO will propose an alternative to this requirement in Section 4. 4.

Hardship IfIf this repair/replac ement activity was exclusively performed repair/replacement performed in in accordance withwith the Construction Construction Code, Code, then conventional postweld postweld heat heat treatment, as as prescribed prescribed in in the the Construction Construction Code for this repair/replac ement activity, would this repair/replacement would have to to be performed in in the the field, field, andand would would result in in unnecessary unnecessary radiological exposure exposure to to maintenance maintenance personnel.

Therefore, utilizing Therefore, utilizing this proposed proposed alternative to to Code Case N-638-4N-638-4 will result result inin aa significant reduction in radiological reduction radiological exposure to site personnel.

4. Proposed Alternative and Basis for Use Pursuant to 10 CFR 50.55a(a)(3)(ii), ENO proposes Pursuant proposes an alternative to the provision in paragraph 11(b) (b) of N-638-4 that limits the depth of the weld to "one-half one-half the ferritic base metal thickness. More specifically, ENO proposes to use the new alternative provision in thickness."

paragraph 11 (b)(1) of N-638-5 which states:

(1) Through-wall circumferential welds are permitted if the following restrictions are met:

(a) For repair/replacement activities associated with existing welds, the existing weld (including any associated buttering) shall be removed in its entirety.

(b) Temper bead buttering shall be applied across the entire face of the weld preparation area on the base materials requiring tempering, and shall extend around the full circumference of the joint.

Proposed Alternative ENO will replace this existing nozzle/flange assembly with a modified design. The modification will replace the existing S8-166, SB-166, Alloy 600 weld neck flange with an SA-182 F316 austenitic stainless steelfiange, steel flange, which is not susceptible to PWSCC. The Alloy 82/1 821182 82 weld material will be removed and the nozzle cut back slightly to assure that all of the original weld metal is removed. The new DMW between the stainless steel weld neck flange and low alloy steel nozzle will be made with ERNiCrFe-7A (Alloy 52M) weld metal. The weld neck flange will be slightly longer neck longer to make up for the removal of the the original weld metal, metal, but the overall length length from the vessel to to the safety valve boltedbolted flanged joint joint will remain the same. The change is essentially like-for-like in its geometry, with only the materials being changed. The new materials are not not susceptible to PWSCC. See Figure 2 for additional details.

The The welding operation for the DMW, as as shown shown in in Figure Figure 2, 2, includes includes the following basic basic steps:

(EPRI) and otherother organizations organizations on the use use of of anan ambient temperature temper temper bead welding operation bead welding operation using machine GTAW using the machine GTAW process process is is documented in documented in EPRI EPRI Report Report GC-111 GC-1 11050, Ambient Temperature 050, "Ambient Temperature Preheat Preheat for for Machine Machine GTAW Temper Bead Bead Applications."

Applications. According to the EPRI EPRI report, repair welds welds performed with an ambient temperature temper bead bead procedure procedure utilizing the machine machine GTAWGTAW welding process exhibit mechanical properties equivalent equivalent or better better than those of the surrounding material. Laboratory testing, analysis, base material. analysis, successful procedure procedure qualifications, and successful repairs have all demonstrated the effectiveness of this process. EPRI Report GC-1 11050, Section 6.0 concluded the following:

GC-111050, Repair of RPV components utilizing machine GTAW temper bead welding at ambient "Repair temperature produces mechanical properties that are commonly superior to those of the service-exposed substrate. The risk of hydrogen delayed cracking is minimal using the GTAW process. Cold stress cracking is resisted by the excellent toughness and ductility developed in the weld HAZ (heat affected zone). Process design and geometry largely control restraint considerations, and these factors are demonstrated qualification.

during weld procedure qualification."

ENO plans to deposit the Alloy 52M butter layers to the weld end preparation of the low alloy steel A-508, Class 2 nozzle using Code Case N-638-4. However, paragraph 1 (b) of 1(b)

N-638-4 limits the depth of the weld to one-half one-halt the ferritic base material thickness. The incorporation of this weld depth limitation is likely the result of concerns related to the high restraint that a repaired weld would experience if a localized or partial-depth weld repair was performed. As stresses build under a high degree of restraint, cracking may occur at detect defect locations. It should be noted that paragraph 11(b) (b) of N-638-5 also limits the depth of weld repairs to one-half the thickness of the ferritic base material. While paragraph paragraph 1 (b)(1) does 1(b)(1) allow through-wall circumferential welds to be made, the following two requirements must be met:

a) The existing weld (including any associated buttering) shall be removed in in its entirety.
